FRTB & IMA’s Most Pernicious Challenges, Part II

This course discusses new problems with data alignment and “dark matter” The new Basel III framework for market risk, also known as FRTB, represents a pivotal change in the way banks’ trading businesses will be capitalized, regulated, and managed. Join us for this session or the full eleven-part series.

About This Course

In this course (8 of 11), we will examine the evolving interaction between data, regulation, technology, and capital. FRTB put new demands on data including tractability requirements to underlying transactions, extended reach-back on stress data, and enhanced tracking of data gaps, jumps, and other “dark matter”. Complicating the FRTB demands are increasing data amounts, complexity, granularities, and processing speed. The confluence of these drivers demands new tools to manage and manipulate market, position, and even static data in the new regime.
